Ryan’s Pov:
“Ryan, come on; you can’t possibly do this to me. You can’t ditch me” the bit-ch said as she stood in front of me.
I stood up quietly from the be-d and went to sit in front of my system which was facing the window. This way, I was now backing her.
I was shi-tless and undoubtedly, just my ba-re skin was driving her crazy.
“Get out of my room Michelle’ I said calmly as I brou-ght out stick from my cigarette pack and reached for my lighter.
“Ryan plea-se; you know I love you. You can just use me and dump me. I gave you my dignity” she said and had to scoff.
“St©p lying bit-ch” I said lowly as I lit the cigarette and stuck it in my mouth.
“Fine! I know you didn’t meet me as a vir-gin; but you’re the second guy’s that ever crossed my legs. I told you the first one was done f0rç£fully. You’re the first guy I’ve given it to willingly. You can’t do this to me, Ryan.”
I sighed and turned on my l@pt©p.
“I’m not interested in you, Michelle. The only thing I wanted was tofu-ck and go and you knew it. So, st©p chirping” I told her blatantly and heard her sniff.
“Ryan…plea-se, I promise to be faithful to you. I’ll do whatever you want. Just give me a chance” I pleaded.
These ladies; when will they even learn?
I reached for one of my phones and made a call, placing it on speaker.
“Sir” the security said over the phone.
“Come and get a bit-ch out of my room” I said coldly and ended the call.
I heard her whimper and next, she gr@bb£d her bag from the be-d and ran out of the room.
I puffed out smoke from my mouth as I heard her whack the door. I wonder when I’ll st©p seeing such drama. Cheap ladies.
They know the only thing I want is their b©dy. Yet, they still go ahead to make attempts on me. When will they un-derstand I can never fall in love?
I started going throu-gh my system and not long after, a call c@m£ into my phone.
I checked and discovered it was mum.
I sluggishly picked it up and kept it back on the table, putting it on speaker.
“Hi mum” I said with a sigh.
“Ryan where are you?” She asked and I heaved.
What does she want this time around? I really wanted to be alone.
“I’m at my mansion. Is there a problem?” I replied and asked.
“Of course, not, Ryan. But you nee-d to come home now. There’s something we nee-d to talk about. It’s very important”.
I paused and t©uçhed my forehead. What could be more important this time around?
“Ryan?” She called and I sighed.
“Fine. I’ll be there” I told her and hung up.
I wonder what they’re upto this time around.
Bethel’s Pov:
I scoffed and looked at mum, my head spinning from what she said. Or did I misheard her?
“Ryan?” I asked.
“Married? I…I don’t un-derstand, mum. What are you talking about? I mean, who’s getting married…to Ryan? What Ryan?”
“Bethel” she called and tucked her hair behind her ear.
“I know you must be confused okay? But you nee-d to un-derstand this. You’re getting married to Ryan”.
“Ryan?” I repeated.
“Yes, Ryan! Ryan Winthorpe’.
A short silence stepped in as I stared at her, stunned.
This is a dream
“His parents and I have been taking and about it and we’ve finally come to a conclusion. He’s the heir to the winthrop incorporated and you’re also the heir to my company. So, we’ve decided to do a p@rtnersh!pand that’s the reason both of you nee-d to get married for the future of the company. That way, we’ll never have a thing to be worried about, Bethel”.
I dropped my bag on the floor and tried to comprehend the whole thing. Is this woman serious?
“So you…you’re trying to say I’ll be getting married to R…Ryan? Like…Ryan?” I asked bemused.
“Yes”.
“Mum! Are you kidding me?” I snapped and stood on my feet.
“I mean, you want me to get married to someone because of some worthless company?”
“You better shut that mouth of yours, Bethel, before I shut it up for you” she retorted.
“Well, you better do, mum because I wanna believe you’re joking. Like seriously, can you even hear yourself? You want me to get married to someone I know nothing about and for goodness sake! At this tender age! I’m just nineteen”.
“I gave birth to you at the age of seventeen” she said as she stood up and I halted.
Hold on; seventeen???
“You…” I paused and scoffed.
“Listen, I have no idea how it happened. But you can’t make me pas-s throu-gh the same way you did. I can’t let you do this to me. I can’t get married, mum; not at this age and not to someone like Ryan”
“And what are you talking about? Do you know how many ladies are out there, dying just to t©uçh his f!nger? You should be happy you’re getting married to him’
“well, I don’t care mum! And I’m not one of those cheap ladies. I don’t love him. How do you expect me to get married to him?”
“Trust me, Bethel; you will love him as…”
“He’s a flir-t! A rude br@t! Do you even know what I caught him doing in the restroom last night? He was actually ma-king out with a lady” .
“Well; he’s a young boy and you don’t expect anything less from him. But all that is likely to change when you get married”.
“Mum…”
“Shut up, Bethel!” She said raucously and I kept quiet, stunned.
“I don’t care if you like it or not, but I’m not gonna let you make all my efforts go down the drain. You’re getting married to Ryan and that’s final. The wedding’s on Saturday and they’ll be coming over for dinner tomorrow” she said coldly and turned around to leave.
“I have a b©yfri£nd, mum” I said tearfully and she turned back to look at me.
“I have someone I care about”.
For a second, she kept quiet and didn’t say a word.
“I don’t care. What’s important right now is getting married to Ryan and that’s what you should be thinking about”. She replied.
I looked at her in disbelieve as tears c@m£ running down my cheeks.
How can this happen? What kind of a mother is this?
I couldn’t say any other thing and I ran away in tears.
Ryan’s Pov:
I walked into the sitting room and met mum and dad alre-ady seated there, discussing.
“Ryan!” Mum called as she stood up to embr@ce me.
She’s the only woman who gets to hold me this way.
“Hi mum” I said as we unlocked from the hvg.
She smiled and arranged my hair with her palm.
“Good evening dad” I took my eyes to him and greeted.
He was a chubby looking man.
“Welcome home Ryan. Come and have a seat” he said and mum held my hand and made me sit beside her.
“Okay. so why did you call for me?” I asked, looking at mum.
“Because we have something important to tell you about” Dad ch!pped in and looked at mum, as if giving her the go ahead.
“Um…Ryan” mum called and held my hand.
“Do you remember Maltilda’s daughter at the p@rty last night?”
I narrowed my eyes and tried to think.
That tiny girl?
“Yes. What about her?” I replied and asked.
“Maltilda and I have decided to do a p@rtnersh!pand for that to happen, we nee-d both of you to get married” dad said but I maintained a straight face.
I mean, I didn’t get what he said.
I kept staring at him without saying a word and then I looked at mum.
“What’s going on?” I finally asked with a scoff.
“Ryan” mum called with a sigh.
“I know it’s coming as a shock to you, but it’s the truth and for the future of the company. Both of you will be getting married on Saturday”
Okay;
This people have got to be kidding me. I mean, what are they talking about? Who thefu-ck is getting married?
“Ryan…”
“Hold on; are you guys trying to trick me or something? Because I wanna believe you’re joking” I cut mum off who was talking.
“This isn’t a trick, Ryan and we’re not joking. It’s for the best and you’re doing it” dad said.
“So, you’re tryna tell me I’m getting married to who? What $h!t is that? Are you for real?” I rasped and stood on my feet
“Yes Ryan and that’s the only way you can inherit the company”.
“Well;fu-ck the company.fu-ck everything. I don’t nee-d it” I said and stormed out of the house in anger.
“Ryan!” Mum c@m£ calling after me, but I ignored her and headed for my limo in front of me.
My guards were alre-ady there.
“Ryan plea-se” she finally caught up with me and held my hand.
“Seriously mum; I never expected this from you” I turned back to her and said, anger eating me up.
“How can you really expect me to get married against my will? I thought all you ever wanted was my happiness?”
“Of course, Ryan. And I’m doing all these for your sake. Can’t you see? Finally, you’ll become the heir to the Winthorpe incorporated. The fame will be ours” she enthused.
“Well, I don’tfu-cking nee-d the company, mum. I’m alre-ady successful without it”.
“Of course, you’re not! Do you know what it’s gonna mean for us to own the company? We’ll finally become the winners!”
“I can’t get married mum; I can’t. It’s gonna be hell on earth. I’m not re-ady to stay committed. I’m only going to make life miserable for the bit-ch because I can’t be a husband right now”.
“Ryan plea-se; you don’t necessarily nee-d to stay committed when you’re married. I mean, I’d un-derstand if you’re tem-pted to have a taste of other ladies once in a while. But the most important thing right now is getting married to that lady so you can gain access to the company. plea-se, don’t make my efforts go down the drain. This is all I’ve ever wanted”.
“Oh, really? And talking about efforts, I guess it includes the fact that you sle-pt with your bestfriend’s husband so you could give birth to an heir”.
She paused and looked at me in shock. That was enough to get a sl@p, but she wouldn’t even dare.
She bent her head and started weeping.
Yeah,fu-ck.
“Ryan plea-se,” she whimpered and held my w@!st.
“Try and un-derstand with me. I’m doing all these for your sake. plea-se, son.”
She hvgged me ti-ght and I rolled my eyes.
She knows my weak point. She knows I hate to see her cry.
But what the heck?
How can they expect me to get married to…that tiny girl? I don’t even know her.
And mum…she isn’t the type that’d want me to do something I don’t like. But why’s it different in this case? Why’s it necessary for me to get married first? Why do I smell something fishy?

Episode 12

Bethel’s Pov:
I la-id on the be-d as the door opened and mum c@m£ in, fully and brightly garbe-d.
“Bethel” she called but I didn’t flin-ch.
I just maintained a straight face and remained the way I was.
“And why’re you still in be-d? Don’t you have clas-ses today?” She asked in a strict tone.
“I can’t make it” I replied, trying to sound less peeved as possible.
I heard her sigh.
“Well, whatever you wanna do. Just make sure you’re re-ady before 4 pm cause that’s when the Winthorpe family will be coming over for dinner. Put on something nice and look good.
“I’ve alre-ady called for some caterers and they’ll be here In a while to prepare the meals. So, stay indoors and get re-ady when it’s time”.
And with that, she left.
I heard her retrieving footsteps and tears c@m£ up to my eyes. I can’t believe this is really going to happen. I’m getting married!
But why does mum have to be this cruel? What kind of a mother do I have? Why does this have to happen to me?
*
*
I stayed all alone in the room for a long time, not being able to go out. I just felt like staying indoors the whole day.
I had switched off my phone because I didn’t want to talk to Jackson at that moment. I was sure he must’ve been trying to reach me alre-ady. But what do I say to him? Am I really gonna break up with him?
And Ryan…how can I get married to him? He doesn’t even love me. He’s a flir-t and is rude. How’s he gonna treat me?
I buried my palm in my face and wept. I just couldn’t help it. I felt tortured. Any other lady in my shoes would’ve been happy. But with me, I don’t know. It’s just complicated.
I never dreamt my life would get this way.
*
I stood by the window and saw the caterers coming in.
This isn’t a dream.
They were about four of them and I watched them as they walked into the house.
I went into the bathroom, brushed my teeth and took my bath. I actually forgot I was yet to eat and it was noon alre-ady.
I went downstairs into the kitchen and there I met the careers, busier than bees.
“Good day ma’am” they greeted when I c@m£ in and I just waved at them and went ahead to take what wanted.
I took some milk and cornflakes and went out to prepare it myself .
As I sat on the dining and tried eating, I kept thinking about my life and what the future holds. What kind of a family will I be having with someone like Ryan?
He’s a s3x freak and I wonder if…
No;
I can’t even think about it. I can’t give aa thought to such a thing. I’m not re-ady for it.
I suddenly heard a knock on the door and my heart skipped. No; why am I scared? It isn’t time yet.
I stood up to check it out and when I opened the door, I discovered it was Nicole.
Oh God!
“Bethel!’ She called with relieve as soon as she saw me.
She was still in her uniforms and it was obvious she was just on her way from school.
“Hey” I sighed and said as I led her into the house.
“Oh, my God! Bethel, I was scared to the teeth. I mean, I can’t remember the last time you skipped school and I’ve been trying to call you for like a zillion times now, but your line isn’t connecting. What the hell happened to you?” She talked non st©p as I went back to the dining and sit.
She joined me there as well.
“I’m getting married” I finally spilled it out, looking down at my cornflakes.
“What????”
*
*
“Oh my! Bethel, so this is for real? You’re really getting married to Ryan?” she asked in bemusement after listening to the whole $h!t.
“Yeah” i mouthed.
“But…come to think of it; isn’t it great news? I mean, you’re getting married to Mr popular”
“Oh, Nicole, plea-se. I don’t even know a thing about this guy aside the fact that he’s rude and a flir-t and you expect me to be happy?”
“But it doesn’t matter. As time goes on, you’ll get to know each other better. Oh, my God! Bethel, you’re going to be Ryan’s wife. Do you know what that means? Like…Ryan Winthrop – the world’s famous Ryan. It’s more than an honour Bethel”.
I sighed and didn’t say anything as I faced my empty plate. It was pointless arguing with her.
“Or, why do I even have a feeling you’re feeling this way because of Jackson?” She asked and I rolled my eyes.
“Well, yes. I do love him, okay? And I never planned on ditching him anytime soon” I snapped.
“Oh! plea-se, Bethel. You don’t love Jackson. It’s only an infatuation. I don’t even like that Jackson guy. He’s weird. You don’t even know a zilch about him” she said.
“Well, that doesn’t make him a bad person” I said quic-kly and paused, recalling what he did to me the other day in his house.
Suddenly, the door opened and mum c@m£ in.
Huh?
“Good day ma’am” Nicole greeted with a slight bow.
“Hi, Nicole” mum replies and sh0t me a stare.
“And why are you still undressed?” She asked but I didn’t say anything and just bent my head.
“Um…Bethel” Nicole called as she reached for her bag.
“I’ll just be on my way now. Take care of yourself” she said and waved at me and headed for the door.
I suddenly felt so bittered.
“I told you to get re-ady before time. Why are you still here?” Mum snapped immediately Nicole left and I sighed and stood on my feet.
“I’m sorry” I mumbled and started walking away.
“And you better hurry up ’cause they’re on their way alre-ady”.
I paused and tuned to look at her.
On their way alre-ady?
Oh, my God! This is really happening?
I shook my head and took the stairs, headed for my room.
I rifled throu-gh my wardrobe for something suitable to wear and finally settled for a long red go-wn.
I blearily wore it on and packed my hair in ponytail. Then, applied a light l!pgloss. Well, I wasn’t in for much make up.
I sat on the be-d and cogitated. I can’t believe Ryan’s on his way here.
How did he even take the news? What was his reaction?
That j£rk; I wonder if he knows I’m the same lady he called blind.
I opened my phone and goggled his name and informations and pictures of him c@m£ up.
Wow! I can’t believe I’m getting married to this guy.
I went throu-gh few of his pictures and decided to check his relationsh!pstatus.
Surprisingly, he’s had just one girlfriend – Naomi.
Well, I guess Nicole was right. The only thing he’s interested in s3x and go.
I looked dee-per and noticed his relationsh!pwith Naomi only lasted for four months and he broke up with her.
And it was noted her family had to place her on suicide watch after the incidence.
Wow! I wonder what could’ve happened between them.
I kept looking around and checked out his relationsh!pwith lady k.
Hm. They were pretty close. There were so many pictures of them together.
They had been staying together in Georgia city and returned here to Dallas together.
They’ve recorded a lot of songs together and it was noted Lady K always accompanied him to most of his shows, appointments and other important places.
I wonder why they’re not d@t!ng.
I continued going throu-gh his records until the door suddenly opened with mum coming in, gorgeously dressed.
“Come out now. They’re here” she said and a cold breeze suddenly clouded me.
I felt my throat becoming dry and almost forgot how to walk.
I stood up and prepped throu-gh the window and there I found numerous flashy cars and guards all over.
Is this really happening?
“Come on, Bethel” mum said again and I turned back to look at her, my heart beating ra-pidly.
I took in a de-ep breath, trying to control my anxiety. And then, I started following her out of the room.
“Um…mum, are they that much?” I asked nervously as we headed for the stairs.
“His parents and step siblings are here. So, yeah” she replied and my anxiety increa-sed.
His step siblings? Why do they have to be that much?
Besides, I thought he wasn’t in good terms with his step siblings?
Oh, God!
Mum was in front of me as we climbe-d the stairs and finally, we got to the sitting room.
Oh, heavens!
I saw them – his parents, some brightly garbe-d ladies and…whaaaat?
What the hell?
Are you kidding me?
Ryan’s step brother!
Hold on;
Is he really Ryan’s brother?
I mean…This guy???
TBC.
